Just watched this. Am speechless. Great watch. But totally MENTAL.

The Imposter (2012)

A documentary centered on a young Frenchman who convinces a grieving Texas family that he is their 16-year-old son who went missing for 3 years.

I seem to remember Kermode and Mayo enjoying this, too.

Me too. I've now got in the habit of saving their podcasts when they're discussing a film on my watchlist I've yet to see, eg. Skyfall. Funny how I rarely agree with the good Doctor but still seek out his recommendations, especially for films like this one, that would normally pass me by. I shall definitely be seeing this one.

Thanks for the reminder DD.
